Abstract
Metal losses lead to unacceptably low propagation lengths in THz and LWIR waveguides. While SPP based waveguides provide relatively good confinement and attenuation in the near-IR and visible these are insufficiently bound to the surface in the THz and LWIR. We study using surface phonon polaritons for waveguiding at these frequencies. An eigenmode approach was applied to model a hybrid waveguide structure at λ=10.6 μm. The results show that phonon-coupled hybrid waveguide of silicon carbide BCB and gold exhibit enhanced propagation length and confinement at LWIR. © 2013 IEEE.
